The land of Lingnan was still a place of exile for prisoners in this era, and the small areas of Liangguang, Fujian, and Jiangxi in later generations seemed to be very large, but the total population was probably comparable to that of Nanzhong.

The population scattered throughout the South China Sea is only four or five hundred thousand at most, which is a fraction of the more than 40 million people in the Great Sui.

Although some people think that Su You was born in the South China Sea and it is necessary to take the South China Sea, Su You himself does not think so.

The most important thing is that the part of the upper reaches of the Nanpan River that belongs to Nanzhong has been renovated last year, and it is easy for the Yunzhong army to enter the Pearl River from the upstream ark eastward, and it is not unattainable to want to conquer Feng An, the governor of Gaozhou.

Of course, fighting a war is not a dinner party, it is not a fuss, it is not a painting and embroidery

Everything must always be prioritized.

As early as two years ago, Su You had already made a big plan, the first step out of Nanzhong was to conquer Goryeo in the name of righteousness, and then establish his own base in the Central Plains and then slowly infiltrate into the Central Plains - this move made a good start, and the subsequent chess road is also being carried out in a tense and orderly manner.

As for the second move, it is to take Bashu at the right time, so as to coerce Jiangnan and Guanzhong.

The land of Bashu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, so it can maintain pressure on the Jiangnan region with a fleet, and it can imitate the strategy of Wuhou to go out of Qishan, and it is also possible to send troops to the Guanzhong region.

Compared with the Central Plains, the land of Bashu has a population of less than two million, which is also sparsely populated, but this region is still strategically imperative.

Su Yunfan had been ready to send troops to Bashu as early as a year ago, and until Li Xiaogong's troops dispersed, this plan could finally start to be put back on the agenda.

But the land of Bashu is vast and sparsely populated, and it will take Li Xiaogong more than half a year to travel all over this land, not to mention that he has to conquer her.

Many people in Bashu have long been yearning for Nanzhong, especially Lincang!

The origin of the new Lincang City is attributed to the fact that Su You helped Dong Jiao and Xi Jiao defeat Duan Ruqi, and then they had a ten-year agreement to temporarily live on this land in the way of "Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou".

It's been almost ten years now, but who remembers the covenant back then? Who would talk about this ten-year covenant without anything to do?

What is so memorable is naturally the strength shown by Su You and the civilization brought by Su You.

After the construction of the Chinese New Year, the new Lincang City has become a garden city, an industrial city and the first logistics center in the southwest region, where merchants from the southern countries gather, whether for travel, or for trading, or for enjoyment, they naturally gather here.

The ships of Lincang City sailed out to sea through the Mekong River, either to the west or into the Central Plains; The land route of Lincang City has already been communicated to the Western Regions by the vassal countries, party items and other places!

The Ancient Tea Horse Road and the Maritime Silk Road are all shining because of the civilization in the clouds.

The transaction volume of Lincang City has maintained a gratifying growth trend every year, but Su Yunfan has never escaped the war because of the good economic situation,—— what profit in this world can compare to the war dividend?

Since Su You entered the Central Plains, Su Yunfan has expanded the military strength of Nanzhong on the one hand, and vigorously repaired the transportation arteries from Lincang to Kunchuan on the other hand. The reason for this is that sooner or later, the copper mines in Dongchuan need to be mined, and more importantly, they are ready to enter Bashu at any time.

The elephant soldiers established by Su You back then were only four hundred, but this number is now nearly two thousand.

Although the weight and speed cannot be compared with the tanks of later generations, the only way to attack is to charge, trample and the hands of the elephant soldiers. Thunder; But Su Yunfan believes that as long as these elephant soldiers appear, they will definitely be able to surrender without a fight!

For the march into Bashu, Su Yunfan had already despised the enemy strategically, and all he was waiting for was the order from Su Youfeige.

As soon as he talked about marching into Bashu, Su You realized that he had been away from Nanzhong for a year, and if he could, he really hoped that the Eastern and Western Expeditions that had followed him to the Central Plains could go back and have a look

And after taking Bashu, who should guard it? Su You's first thought was Li Mi.

Since the Wagang Army surrendered to Su You on the surface, he recruited Zhai Rang and Lü Zhongsu to his side, and handed over the leadership of the Wagang Army to Li Mi.

Making this decision was also a last resort for Su You.

As we all know, after killing Zhang Xutuo, the prestige of Pushan Gong Li Mi was unparalleled for a while, and the people who came to receive the food only knew Li Mi and did not know Zhai Rang, God knows how uncomfortable Zhai Rang felt before Su You surrendered!

Li Mi did not think about self-reliance when his prestige was at its highest, and really instigated his subordinates to take a walk in Suyuna, and the rumor that Turandot, a Turkic princess, was a concubine.

But the reality hit Li Mi too hard, he was defeated by Wang Shichong, and more importantly, Su You's subordinates had a victorious Li Jing, and there were hurdles that he could never ignore. - The weapon in Su You's hand!

Li Mi's discouragement was not due to serious injuries.

The surrender of the Wagang army to Su You on the bright side was actually a return to Su You's arms, but Li Mi did not have such an awareness; After seeing Yang Panruo, Li Mi was even more depressed.

Su You felt that Li Mi was a talent, at least Li Mi could understand some of the statecraft strategies he had formulated, but the rest of the people could only follow him to victory.

The most important reason why Li Mi was not arranged by his side to participate in internal affairs was because of Li Mi's background.

Interests are eternal, and so are classes.

This is also the difficulty that Su You has encountered in training officials in the recent period, and the concept of safeguarding his own class interests is deeply ingrained in these people.

didn't let go of Li Mi, not because Su You was worried that he had different intentions, but because he hadn't changed his concept yet!

Maybe it's a good choice?

But in what way should he join the battlefield? The most effective and direct way is to go up the river! But once the fleet enters the Yangtze River, the enemies it needs to face include Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, Du Fuwei and Xiao Miao!

As long as Su You's fleet appears in the Yangtze River, the tactical intent will naturally be exposed, and the most likely situation will be a situation where rats cross the street and everyone shouts and beats.

Does Cloud China have the strength to make enemies on all sides now?

After sorting out the enemies of Cloud China, Su You was inexplicably silent!

Yun China's current territory can be said to have one-third of the size of the Great Sui Territory, but the land area is narrow and long, and few of the bordering forces are good at stubble.

Although Goryeo in the east has temporarily succumbed, there is no possibility of rebellion, and the vast land of Liaodong has always been unparalleled

To the west of Taihang Mountain, although Liu Wuzhou has formed an alliance with himself at present, Liu Wuzhou is extremely cunning in his face, and he may bite back at any time; And Li Tang's forces and himself have been enemies in the struggle for world dominance from the beginning, and there will be no possibility of cooperation.

In this area, the best result is obviously that Dingyang Jun and Li Tang will both lose and lose, and their own side should take the opportunity to increase troops and release oil to take Taiyuan, Hedong and other places.

In the Central Plains, after Wang Shichong recaptured Xingluocang, his combat effectiveness slowly recovered, and if he could unite with Li Tang to send troops along the river, he would not dare to underestimate them.

In Shandong, Xu Yuanlang insisted on fighting the trapped beasts in Lu County

After some weighing, Su You understood ,——that if he wanted to ensure the advantage of the troops of Taihang in the west over Taiyuan and Hedong, he had to increase Luo Shixin's troops, but where did these soldiers come from? Do you want to expand the army?

Yun China now occupies nearly one-third of the territory of the Great Sui, and the population is not less than one-third of the Great Sui, after preliminary statistics, the calculated population is more than six million, while the number of Su You's army is less than 150,000!

This means that Su You's territory has a lot of potential to expand the army, and it is easy to even expand the number of soldiers to 600,000, but this is incompatible with the "elite soldiers" policy proposed by Su You at the beginning!

It's not difficult to gather tens of thousands of troops, but don't you need to train after summoning them?

It will be at least two months before the newly assembled soldiers are brought to the battlefield, and what will happen to the Taiyuan and Hedong battlefields at that time?

Regarding Li Tang and Wang Shichong joining forces to send troops from Hedong, Su You didn't pay much attention to it.

According to the latest intelligence, Li Jiancheng, the defender of Hedong, has waved his army north, and the defender has been replaced by his uncle Li Daoxuan, and nearly half of his troops have been withdrawn, which means that it is unlikely that he will join forces with Dongdu to send troops to Hebei!

Li Tang now relies on 10,000 or 20,000 people in Hedong to dare to talk to Wang Shichong?

Besides, Su You was not too worried about their joint dispatch of troops at this time, after all, Hebei had been decided, and the Tiger Prison Pass was also in his hands, where would they send troops from? It is unlikely that Wang Shichong and Li Tang will jointly send troops, but it is also unlikely that the Wagang army will counterattack Wang Shichong, retake Xingyang, and besiege the eastern capital again.

In short, Li Mi and Wang Shichong are natural enemies, and they can only confront each other without external intervention, and no one can help anyone!

Of course, Su You is the biggest external force, and capturing the eastern capital and moving the capital here has always been the expectation of the civil and military officials of Yun China.

Obviously, the appeal of seizing the capital of the former dynasty is far greater than getting the jade seal of the country! Compared to Li Yuan, who took Chang'an in Xijing, Yu Wenhua, who has always held the jade seal, is nothing!

Su You's current prestige is not brought by inheriting the jade seal of the country, but because he defeated Goryeo and owned the largest territory in the chaotic army.

If you take the eastern capital again

Dongdu has an undoubted symbolic meaning, and because of its strategic role, it must be taken!

The Yellow River is different from the Yangtze River, because of the drop in water potential in Hukou, Sanmenxia and other places, which is destined to Su You's fleet can not smoothly enter Li Tang's territory, but after taking the eastern capital, the situation is very different.

To attack the eastern capital, a big help was that Su You's fleet set sail again, and the other was the army led by Li Jing.

Li Jing currently leads more than 50,000 troops in Hebei, plus the Wagang army led by Cheng Yanjin and Pei Yuanqing, his troops are nearly 60,000, but this number is only half of Xu Yuanlang's troops gathered in Lu County.

There was a big gap in the number of troops between the two sides, but the soldiers led by Li Jing were far better than the Xu army in terms of quality.

"Quantitative change causes qualitative change", can Xu Yuanlang withstand Li Jing's attack?
